Re: Fructose Intolerance and Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Nina,

What you presented here makes a lot of sense to me, the webpage for Low Fructose

Diet is

a great resource, THANKS! ... I'll try the same ... and that brings me to my

next questions:

- any suggestions for a week long menu without fructose?

- any suggestions for a replacement for honey in baked goods?

Please feel free to email me directly as this may be a repetition for many of

you,

Fructose

Intolerance which is causing my continued diarrhea, bloating, gassiness even

following SCD. I've already tested Lactose Intolerant and been treated for SIBO

(bacterial

overgrowth, small intestine.) I haven't seen major improvements to my gut issues

(particularly gassiness, bloating, and discomfort) yet, so fructose is the next

step.

patients who

test positive for it. There's some suspicion that it's a result of the massive

consumption of

High Fructose Corn Syrup (in soda, cookies, candy, etc.)

fructose-intolerant people:

my

knowledge, I'm all ears :-)

If you two do decide to go off list maybe you could send copies of

your emails to me? I know I have been very intrigued by this

discussion.

Orlinda, I'm not going off list any time soon, I just got here and intend to

stay and use the

collective wisdom available here - I hope that this experiment will result in

something

worth publishing here ...

Hi,

I'd like to hear about the menu and suggestions since I feel at

different times the lactose/fructose intolerance applies to me as well!

Serge,

I am not trying to tell you that you should try the yogurt strained,

but I wouldn't use your experience with the kefir to rule it out. I

learned the hard way that kefir and yogurt are VERY different.

You may just need time to get the " bad bugs " under control.
